I just spent alot of time posting!
I see that, looks like you hit a small bump.
Pictured: Small Bump
What happened?
Well, someone set up us the bomb?
I'm serious!
Oh, well.. looks like your post got pulled.
Augh! I spent alot of effort on that! How did it happen?!
Couldn't be because you were doing it wrong?
What the, how'd you get that video of m-- uh.. I don't even wear that!
Right Skippy. *cough* Well, since you asked, here's how posts get removed.
First, if it is against TOS it gets seen.
Then it gets marked.
Okay, I have that much.
Then the mods gather:
Pictured, mods gathering.
I don't think that's how it looks, I..
Look, do you want an answer or not?
...Yes?
Right, carrying on.
Then they back their vehicle up to your post.
Whoah! What the heck is that thing?!
It's a machine, that eats other machines.
With this:
I don't see what this has to do with my post vanishing, can you tell me wha-
Watch it question boy! I have a flamethrower!
You want to vanish like your dog did?
What the?! No, not Roozer too!
To be fair, your dog WAS drunk.
What?! Who would even... please don't point that flamethrower at me.
Right, and after they saw your post off the entire forum, they set it on fire.
Wait.. that man. His face, and fire! Oh GOD WHY?!
Oh, HIS post was all about his face, so the mods set it on fire.
After that, they used the ashes to open a gate between our world and theirs, like this:
BLECH! That's horrible!
And those tentacles! GAAAH!
If you think that's bad, you should see what happens when the mods get their hands on a bad thread.

Oh look, here comes a mod now.
Looks like they want to ask you about that thread you just posted.
Gaaah! Tell them I'm indisposed!
Pictured: Moderator, dunno which one.
Tell them yourself, they're right behind you.
Wait, don't run away!
We haven't gotten to what happens when they edit your thread title!
This concludes our sordid fictional tale.
If you liked that, we have plenty more in the book "Oh the horrible things you'll summon!" rumored to be written by IamnotaMod
Of course, today, he'd probably have to apologize to the Asian community for the chopsticks bit.
Just imagine what the politically correct crowd would do to Jerry Lewis for his Asian schtick.
6 week ping!
oh my the little fellow is growing up. Stop that little fellow. FanFan needs some more time to enjoy you at this age. FanFan, here is what I recommend. Threaten to take away his badge. Marshall will slow down then if he is any kind of a Marshall.
That sounds like a plan.
Where do you think he keeps it?
Thanks, and welcome!
Has the FTI unit done anything particularly noteworthy lately?
Jim has a better plan on the main board at the top in Breaking. Doesn't involve my plan regarding Marshall. Might want to forget the plan to remove Marshall's badge and go to main board everyone. 2nd Amendment March being discussed. Time to put up everyone. Let them remember We are The People and FReepers. If they are coming for our guns. Let us be peaceful and remind them in a peaceful manner. HELL NO! We will not submit!
Awwwwww! ‘Face says no news about the baby, yet.
He waltzed out the front door yesterday when Miss Slippy was watering plants in the front. He and Thunder the Wondercat. She gave them the stinkeye and they went back in. He’s been pretty mellow lately...just runs about the place like a madcat. He’s getting quite large, unlike his little sister who apparently wants to remain little.
But getting fat really isn’t that insane. He does love splashing water in the sink when Miss Slippy’s doing dishes. He thinks running water is the best thing since sliced bread. Toilet paper still isn’t safe. We thought he’d outgrown it but one day last week Miss Slippy went into the bathroom to find a full roll unwound and shredded.
Miss SlippySister was here a couple of weeks ago, with a slew of people, and Fred decided he needed to be the center of attention and play. They were more than happy to accommodate him.
Life’s been quiet. At least while the Ogre (me) is around....
But then, you did say you had to fish out females...
Helen Thomas was not in my toilet. There maybe is some argument about Helen Thomas being in the toilet but she was not in mine. And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
OK, thanks.
Give her a hug for me please.
XO
lol.
did anyone else notice the photo’s were tagged with comments you see when you hover the mouse on them?

"What would be the effect of the movement on people who have benign positional vertigo? I can visualize all those otoliths clacking together and causing havoc."
Pardon me for being ruthless and hardhearted, but that's not my problem. I'm presenting an engineering solution to some municipal and geographic problems, and you're asking about the effect on people with medical conditions.
Essentially, if you have discomfort from traveling, this mode of traveling will occasionally cause you discomfort. It is designed to be a sedate and comfortable ride, similar to a slow cab ride, (as opposed to a demonic trip from Hades that involves scattering pedestrians like leaves). If you are prone to dizziness, I recommend sitting down for the trip. Each car has seating for about six to eight people, with standing room for more. Make yourself as comfortable as possible.
Next question: "Correct me if wrong. The system utilizes electromagnetic propulsion horizontally and air blast expulsion for vertical up manipulation ..."
Um, no. The system uses a procedure and equipment similar to a magnetically levitated monorail type system, but instead of two level tracks to follow, it has a pattern of six "rails" surrounding the (spherical elevator) car. Not all of these rails or the "shoe" that fits them are in use at the same time.
Consider the issue of changing direction; approaching a "Y" junction. If shifting to the right, then the rails on the left are disengaged, while the car faithfully tracks along the rails moving off to the right. If you were walking in the tunnels, (not recommended), only the uninterrupted rails would be visible. The switches are a part of the moving car.
It's obvious that rails on the floor of the tunnel would be used by the traveling car, but it is less obvious how the ones going up the wall and overhead are to be used. That's why the switches are on the car.
The tunnels are passive, merely giving a magnetic path to follow, while the active functions are mainly on the moving car.
Propulsion is provided by linear induction; the magnetic attraction ahead, and the magnetic repulsion behind, cause the car to accelerate, or switch directions. These same forces will lift the car when it is ascending a grade or acting as an elevator. It is only when the car actually stops that physical contact is made between car and track. Basically, the car sets its parking brake for embarking or disembarking passengers. When the passengers have loaded, the car activates its linear induction drive mechanism, and only then, releases the parking brake and begins its journey.
All air movement is purely a consequence of moving large objects, or a provision for the safety and comfort of passengers. Air does not provide a lifting force, although it is inarguable that it does provide a braking force.
Actually, no.
You’re teh only one so far to mention that I did that.
I noticed, but I didn’t comment. I remember using mouse-overs on my “Before There Was Dirt” poem on my homepage.
Didn’t get many comments about that, either.
Thanks Bob. Still has my interest.
